The founder of a coney island diner near the University of Michigan campus has plans for a new Ann Arbor restaurant: Grillcheezerie Sandwich Shoppe.

Nick Costos, who opened Mr. Greek’s Coney Island on South State Street in 1995 and sold the restaurant in 2006, plans to open the grilled cheese shop at 709 Packard St. in August.

Lagos Investment Company LLC owns the Packard Street building. Get Your Game On occupied the 1,100-square-foot space at 709 Packard St. until the business relocated to South State Street in 2011. Get Some Burritos opened in May in the adjacent space at 707 Packard St.

Costos described Grillcheezerie as “fast, gourmet comfort food.” The restaurant will serve 10 to 12 varieties of grilled cheese sandwiches, such as a pizza grilled cheese, a hot wings grilled cheese and an apple, honey and onion grilled cheese. Sandwiches will cost between $4 and $7, Costos said.

“It’s all natural, no freezers at all. Everything is going to be cooked daily. It’s a small shop, and everything will be authentic. It’s good, old fashioned grilled cheeses,” he said.

Costos said he plans to source locally, and the sandwiches will be prepared with artisan bread and off-the-block fresh cheese.

“We have an Italian white bread, a multigrain wheat bread, a rye bread and we are doing gluten-free bread. We’re also planning to run weekly feature sandwiches, like one on a baguette with brie,” Costos said.

In addition to grilled cheese sandwiches, the restaurant will serve homemade macaroni and cheese, several different kinds of tomato soup and an Italian salad.

Costos said he was inspired to open a grilled cheese shop after he sold Mr. Greek’s Coney Island and spent time living in Montreal.

“There are a ton of little cheese bars (in Montreal),” he said. “I didn’t want to do a diner again; there’s too much that goes into it and it’s hard to keep it consistent.”

He added: “I miss Ann Arbor. I’m happy to be back.”

Grillcheezerie customers will order at a counter, and the restaurant will seat about 12 to 15 people. It will also offer a delivery service.
